will endeavor always to be in prophetic alignment for the time. God has
shifted his work in the earth and we must be properly positioned. The
Saints Movement is being pioneered…Heaven is looking for those
who will be heavenly minded, set their affections on things above, and
realign their priorities. The Kingdom is coming and God is calling for
the growth and maturation of senior pastors until they can take on an
apostolic role. This does not mean every pastor will be an apostle but
that there will most certainly be a redefining of the function of New
Testament pastoring.
Today's pastoral role centers on the people and their needs; the apostle
centers on God's call and purpose. New Testament pastors must carry the
burden of the Lord, not of the people.
Today's pastoral role feeds the people to put on weight; the apostle
trains the people to put on muscle. New Testament pastors meet the root
needs of people, not the felt needs.
Today's pastoral role performs services for the people; the apostle's
role demands the performance of the people. New Testament pastors help
people do what they are capable of doing.
Today's pastoral role equips the leader to meet peoples' needs; the apostle
equips every believer for the work of the ministry. New Testament pastors
lead people into fulfillment of God's will for them.
Today's pastoral role has maintenance as a goal; the apostle has maturity
of individual and corporate lives. New Testament pastoring renews the
minds of believers in order to change lifestyle.
